Jermain Defoe ‘can’t wait’ for Sunderland debut as he prepares for medical

Sunderland are close to sealing a £14m deal for Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe…

Jermain Defoe will make his return to Premier League football this weekend, making his Sunderland debut against former club Tottenham. And the former England international could not be more excited about it.

Defoe, who is quoted by the Daily Mail, discussed his imminent two-and-a-half year deal with the Black Cats, as he prepares to undergo a medical in the next 24 hours.

The striker, who has scored on debut for every club he has played for, told reporters: “I felt so sharp. All that hard work has paid off. I can’t wait to start scoring goals for Sunderland.

“Everybody knows how much I love English football and I still feel that I have a lot to offer. People might look at my age, but I have always looked after myself and I hope I can show that with my performances.”
